When Aunt Zhou heard that the voice was Shen Jinyao, she quickly took out something to clean up the debris on the ground.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Zhou, Jin Yao comes in."

When Shen Jinyao was at the gate of the yard, she heard some quarreling.

I thought today was not the right time to come.

Because she heard the word "Shen" from Uncle Li and Aunt Zhou's words.

The only family with the surname Shen in Wuhe Village is the Shen family.

I guess Zong Cheng and the others made too much noise last night, and someone was trying to offend Uncle Li.

Shen Jinyao knew that most villagers had begun to accept the Shen family because of the house building and potato planting.

However, there are still some villagers who have a very bad attitude towards the Shen family.

According to Shen Jinyao's observation, that group of people in the village were only close to the village chief.

The door of the house was opened, and Shen Jinyao saw Aunt Zhou with a smile on her face.

Aunt Zhou: "Miss Shen, how come you have time to come here today?"

Shen Jinyao smiled and said to Aunt Zhou, "Aunt Zhou, Happy New Year. I came to see Uncle Li today for something. Is he home?"

Aunt Zhou said with a look of discomfort on her face: "Ah, you came at a bad time, he is not at home."

Shen Jinyao first uttered an "ah" and then said, "I wanted to come to Uncle Li to discuss an important matter, but since he's not at home, why not just forget it for now."

Aunt Zhou quickly said, "What's the matter? You can tell me first, uh... I'll tell him later."

Shen Jinyao simply smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just have some sweet potato seeds..."

"Since Uncle Li is not at home, let's wait and see."

Aunt Zhou nodded with her mouth open and said, "Oh, that's fine."

Shen Jinyao turned around and left, and Aunt Zhou sent her to the door of her home.

As a result, Aunt Zhou saw a lot of people sitting at the gate of the yard.

"Haha, Aunt Zhou."

"Let's sit here for a while. There's not enough sunlight over there."

Shen Jinyao also saw these people and greeted everyone she knew one by one.

"Miss Shen is back soon?"

Shen Jinyao: "Ah, yes, Uncle Li is not at home."

"Ah? The village chief isn't home?"

"I didn't see him come out just now."

"Oh... maybe I didn't see it clearly."

Shen Jinyao saw the movements between those people very clearly.

Shen Jinyao continued, "Auntie, you're joking. Uncle Li, could he really lie to me?"

"I'm going back first. I wanted to talk to Uncle Li about making money with everyone next year."

"Make money?"

"Still growing potatoes?"

Shen Jinyao shook her head, "Not only this, there are many more."

"But today is unfortunate, so we can only wait and see."

After listening to Shen Jinyao's words, everyone was very curious about what Shen Jinyao meant by making money.

But there are people who think differently.

"Well, if you ask me, you are just common people, so you don't need to worry about the landlord's affairs."

"It doesn't matter if you grow potatoes or something else. You're not the ones making the money."

"Yes, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a big commotion last night."

"We live in the same village, so why are there such big differences?"

Shen Jinyao took a look and saw that the people who said these words were the men who had a good relationship with the village chief.

Most of them are from the Li family.

They are younger than the village chief, about thirty years old, and Shen Jinyao has to call them uncles.

Shen Jinyao didn't explain, but smiled faintly and left.

After Shen Jinyao left, those people started quarreling.

"Why are you gentlemen talking so harshly?"

"That's right. When we were growing potatoes, your family took a lot of money from the Shen family."

"You can't say that. What's the difference between the Shen family doing this and enslaving us?"

"Yeah, how can we be free just because we grow that little bit of land?"

"If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with the Shen family. Anyway, I'll listen to whoever can make me money."

"Humph, a bunch of fools."

"You're not stupid. You'll pay me when the time comes."

"Hey, you're right. I'll also contract a piece of land to farm in the future."

Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, the door of the village chief's house rang.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was the village chief who came out.

When they saw the village chief, they all shut up.

But some people were still discussing it in low voices.

"See, I said I didn't see the village chief go out."

"You are stupid, but you are really stupid."

"Why am I stupid?"

"It's obvious that the village chief is hiding from Miss Shen."

"Why is Uncle Li avoiding Miss Shen?"

"How would I know? I guess it was Li Huai and his gang who did it."

"Stop talking. Look, Li Huai is trying to please him again."

"Look at his eyeless grin, he's almost ready to call Uncle Li Daddy."

"Don't tell me, Uncle Li's family has no sons, so I guess Li Huai has such thoughts in mind."

At this time, Li Huai was indeed talking to the village chief.

"Uncle Li, are you out for a stroll?"

The village chief glanced at him and nodded.

Just now, he was in the yard and heard everything Shen Jinyao said to everyone.

Shen Jinyao is really capable. She even wants to plant something else?

"You also want to contract the land?"

Li Huai grinned and said, "Uncle Li has the final say. If Uncle Li tells me to plant, I'll plant."

Uncle Li glanced at him and said, "Do you have money?"

Li Huai: "I have money, I have money."

Uncle Li pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's not impossible."

"Everyone heard it, right? Li Huai also wants to farm in the spring, so you can go and work for them."

This news was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone's attitude changed in an instant.

"Oh, Li Huai is rich now?"

"Li Huai, how much will you pay me when I go to work at your house?"

"Hahaha, listen to him chasing the bull."

Li Huai patted his chest and said, "If I say I have money, I have money. You can come to me when the time comes."

Li Huai is quite famous in the village because he is good at flattery.

In addition, this person likes to joke with the girls and aunts in the village, so he is quite popular.

There are also some people who completely look down on Li Huai.

But no matter what, they couldn't understand why Li Huai suddenly became rich.

They also knew how much money the Shen family spent to contract the 100 acres of land.

The village chief noticed everyone's expressions and said, "Alright, everyone, go away. Li Huai, come and talk to me about the contracted land."

"Hey, Uncle Li, I want to contract the land too, is that okay?"

"I want it too, I want it too."

The village chief glanced at them and said expressionlessly, "Okay, the minimum required is fifty taels of silver. Do you have any?"

what?

The minimum is fifty taels?

Forget it.

Everyone simply dispersed, leaving only Li Huai and the village chief back at his home.

As soon as Li Huai entered the house, he was scolded by the village chief.

"Who told you to say that now?"

Li Huai was a little confused. He said, "Uncle Li, isn't this what we agreed on?"

"You pay the money and I'll come forward."
